The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The best way to cope with bad days is to accept that they are still there as well and to seek God's help to get through it. To thank God for the good days and not to focus too much on the bad times helps as well.
I hope you feel better soon.

I try to reject the concept of "bad days" and by the grace of God often I do not experience the bad day. but I can't comment on the inability to tell if i'm having a bad day or not due to my medication not working because I can't afford and do not want medication, I prefer to feel the pain or I have manged due to hope and faith to block it off so much that i hardly feel it, either way i feel better. I don't know if it is turning me into a sociopath because I still have good feelings and trust of the Lord and love for all, but I don't have so many negative feelings even though I see demons whispering them to me all the time, apparently God has an evil angel over me to keep pushing me to him. thank God there are good ones too and for the evil ones he allows to put thorns on me, because it leads me to God. I have just accepted that i'm hopeless and worthless and that if the Lord pleases I will burn in hell, but I will hope in the Lord still as much as I can and to try to cling to him how I can, even if I am a blind and dead one.
by not depending on the day, but on God who does not change. by finding good people of God and listening to them and loving God and in general doing things I think are acceptable to do with the Lord and try to enjoy my life with the Lord and not look at life in a painful way anymore and I hope that God will teach me and be with me no matter how I feel and i will always try to reach for Him, because if he does not love me then I could care less about what happens to me, the only thing i'm concerned with that really worries me is that if I am cut off from God or if I cut others off from God. but I reject those as lies from the devil and hope in the Lord and try to never see evil in what someone says and never let evil convince me that i should feel it or think it against myself, others or the Lord. I get bothered when suffering happens in the world, but it is a good thing because it shows you that you care about others and then the Lord cheers you up and always gives us the ability to pray for his mercy on us.
what a simple thing it is, to just stop believing evil. i'm not perfect but it is a great help, try to see the hurt, the pain, the depression, as love from the Lord to you, if you believe that all those pains are a gift from the Lord and stop loving yourself in a sense concerning your own inability to understand good from evil and the constant judging of yourself as a sinner and instead reach with your sin and all to God for the Holy Spirit and love yourself as an act of worship to the Lord.
but for each child of God he does things unique. I noticed if you constantly much pray to God with affection and desire for his will to be done and his pleasure that in time you will see he is doing it, but there is always in this life going to be satan to tempt us to hurt, to feel doubt and all that ugly mess, because even Jesus was tempted by satan and killed by him, but Jesus never stopped being who he is with His Father because he trusted and depended on God even if he was suffering. and he found joy in suffering for the Lords sake and for all peoples sake.
but when you are trapped deep in a pit of hurt it is hard to simply accept that God is good, you have to deny yourself and instead let God reform you anew in His image of everlasting joy and love. we heap huge burdens on ourselves but God will save us, if not we are doomed. please God save us.
thank God for his innumerable ways he helps each of us, through so many things, he working through them all. if something hurts you and you can avoid it, might as well, not everyone likes to eat all kinds of food, and in the the same way not everyone can be cured and made better according to only one type of food, but God provides for each of us what we need to get us to be with him in heaven in the here and now and forever. reading the simple and plain loving things of the bible and the other good saints has helped me very much, as has trusting in God in the simplicity of his nature of unchanging love and he being our Father and husband and friend and not our enemy. talking about God and being thankful to God and praying to God for such things that he freely gives and being open to receive them instead of seeing a bad day helps a lot. even reading peoples struggles can sometimes help us out, so even all the depressed ones here encourage me, i hope you all will taste your same encouragement you give to me.

This is something I'd speak to my therapist/counselor about. When I have a bad day I try to keep things really simple, ask the Lord for help, and try to do some things that help others.
I believe one of the most meaningful things we can do in this life is serve others.

I agree, it's a good idea to talk to your doc or therapist.
If it's a bad day now and then, the meds are probably ok, but if every day, or almost every day is a 'bad' one, then you may need them reviewed.
There are two ways I cope with bad days - one is to try to ignore the feelings and find someone else to help or support.
The other, less healthy, way is to isolate myself and hide from the world.
I'd recommend the first one - it works a lot better...
Praying for you, sweetie, and here if you need an ear.
